Setup guide

To change the default port used by a license server:
1 Log in as root to the license server and open /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat for
editing.
2 Find the SERVER line. By default, no port number is specified at the end of the SERVER line for a single
license server and the license server uses default port number in the range of 27000-27009. By default,
redundant license servers are set to port 27005.
3 Enter a different port at the end of the SERVER line. The license server can use a default port number
in the range of 27000-27009. For example: SERVER server
DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC0 62222
4 Save and close the file, then verify that the new port settings are correct:
/etc/init.d/license_server stop
/etc/init.d/license_server start
cat /usr/discreet/licserv/log/license_server.log
For redundant license servers, reboot each server in close sequence to properly restart the license system.
5 Look for messages similar to the following examples in the output, and verify that the port numbers
are what you requested, e.g.:
15:08:49 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port 62222
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Using vendor daemon port 12344 specified in license file
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Started discreet_l (internet tcp_port 12344 pid 5013)
6 Repeat with /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_license.dat for each workstation or node, using the
same port as the one you set for the license server.
Start Flare
To start Flare for the first time:
1 Double-click the Flare icon on your Linux desktop. The Autodesk Master Systems Software License
Agreement appears.
2 Read the text of the License Agreement carefully, and click I Accept if you agree to all the terms in the
License Agreement.
3 Use the Project Management menu to open a remote project from the storage of a Flame or Inferno
workstation, or to create a project and a user on the local storage. If you cannot see the framestores of
other workstations when starting Flare, ensure self-discovery is enabled in the
/usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_probed.cfg, and that the value of the Port keyword in that file matches
the value used by other workstations in your network.
4 Click Start or press Enter. You are ready to start working in the application. If you see a splash screen
rather than the application interface, click anywhere on the screen.
